Discerning the signs of the times...

Oprah Winfrey

By Jason Kovar

Acceptance to New Age ideas have gushed forth into people's living rooms
via television shows and motion pictures for decades, and society is quickly
warming up to them. In objection to God's Word, Satan is deceiving the world
with empty promises of heaven and peppering them for the wrath of God that
is to be revealed on the sons of disobedience.

Perhaps no better example of such a pawn of disobedience is Oprah Winfrey.
Life magazine called Oprah “The Most Powerful Woman
in America.” Biography
magazine included her in the list of the “25 Most
Powerful Women in America.” A one-woman entertainment empire, her influence extends around
the world. Time magazine named her one of the most important people of
the century, writing: “Winfrey stands as a beacon,
not only in the worlds of media and entertainment but also on the larger
realm of public discourse” ("OPRAH WINFREY: The TV Host" by Deborah Tannen, Time Magazine, June 8, 1998). She
is trumpeted as a model overcomer for millions around the world because
of her alacrity to pull herself up by her bootstraps. But this is not the
complete story, as we shall see.

Known as “The Queen of the Talk Shows,” Oprah Winfrey could also
be called the Queen of the New Age. Her ideological presentations and touching
emotional displays have catapulted her show into the public's consciousness
year after year. Because of her immense swaying power and ability to appear
before millions every day without fail, Oprah Winfrey is spiritually one
of the most dangerous women on the face of the planet. Oprah has admitted
to coming into contact with what is called the "Universal Hum." Roseanne, also
a New Ager, has admitted to an initiation into this hum, and occultist Jimmy
Page wrote in his song Stairway to Heaven that “Your
head is humming and it won't go in case you don't know.” Page admits that Stairway,
the most popular song ever in America, was given to him by the spirit world
via automatic writing. Others who have had contact with the occult attest
to a sinister type of ringing or humming that lulls the mind and body in
preparation for advanced occult indoctrination.

Oprah claims that once she broke into the other side, she encountered the
sense of empowerment she sought for. This insidious pursuit of empowerment
has led to selling her soul to demonic spirits for ingenious perpetration
and temporal gain. Blatantly honest about her reliance on the spirit realm,
Winfrey has said:

“I ask God for grace, and the power of the spirits....Calling
on you. Calling on you...I really believe I can call her up. Her and so
many others. I'm counting on them” (Oprah Winfrey, Journey to Beloved, p. 54, Hyperion Books, 1998)

Satan is counting on her too.

What is Oprah's purpose? She reveals the focus of her work to be geared
for the directing of the masses. She states:

“The gist being how do people lead their lives?
How can we help them do it better? In every aspect of their lives, how
can we lead them to their truth? First we must be led to our own. Who are
we? What do we stand for? What do we believe?” (Beloved 1998 p. 135)

Craftily scheming to pinpoint how people live their lives, the heavy guns
of her work are aimed directly at the mainstream public, at you. Jesus said: “I
am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no man comes to the Father
but through Me.” Contrary to Jesus Christ, Oprah wants to lead people
away from the central truths - which she claims are her roots - to false hopes which
will not grant entrance into heaven. Oprah believes in using her life as
a puppet for Satan's ruthless assault on mankind, and is subsequently leading
people into the fires of hell empowered by demonic forces. In fact, Oprah
takes her marching orders for her entertainment empire directly from the
spirit world. Time magazine wrote of these spirit guides:

“Oprah Winfrey calls these her 'go there' moments,
spiritual episodes of divine guidance that far transcend the chatty exchanges
with her studio audiences- Sometimes the epiphanies carry the voices of
Negro slaves-Joe and Emily and Dara; Sue and Bess and Sara. Winfrey says
that she has come to know each of them personally and calls them in at
will to guide her in her work. The spirits began visiting her a few years
ago...” ("Daring To Go There" by Ron Stodghill, Time Magazine, June 24, 2001)

All of the world's heralding of Oprah's great successes is little more than
a surrendered compliance to governance by demonic spirits. These spirits
are using her to construct the new theological mindset of the masses, ministering
their doctrines of demons to society. Apropos, Oprah has always referred
to her show as a “ministry.” Subverting Christian values through
the support of a New Age forum of all types, this change-agent is taking
direct aim at ushering in the New Age practices into the hearts of the world,
formatting her talk show as “change your life television.”

Satan's primary target is the assault upon God's Word. By dismissing Scriptural
facts for feelings, the satanic agenda moves people from the truth to that
of emotional feeling. Feelings are powerful winds of change and Satan is
pawning Oprah as a catalyst toward a feelings-oriented culture. This principle
has been used effectively in occult societies to convert initiates for centuries.
Via her demonic inspiration, Oprah is using the same methodology of occult
societies to supplant truth with emotion by teaching that: “the
path to self awareness is what you feel, not what you think.” A life simply
governed by feelings would quickly fall prey to the broad path that Jesus
warned would be followed by many. Satan has definitely found a real nugget
in this occult evangelist, as Oprah's show is little more than a soapbox
for her preachy sermons that send out her broad nets for the unsuspecting
soul.

Oprah has done many charitable things and is always at the forefront of
doing righteous deeds on behalf of others. This should be of no great surprise
as the Scriptures tell us that:

"Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness.
Their end will be what their actions deserve." –2
Corinthians 11: 14-15

Satan knows that he cannot reveal himself in all his evil as a fallen angel
bound for eternal hellfire and still expect the world to willingly follow
him. Therefore it is imperative that he belies the world with acts of "righteousness" so
that he can appear to be something wonderful to those he seeks to deceive.
Through demon possession, Satan can be very persuasive and debonair, all
the while laughing at his subtle victories over those who refuse to comply
with the protection God offers. Oprah freely confesses to demonic possession
as a tool to enhance her influencing performances before the camera. She
said:

“I tried to empty myself and let the spirit of
Sethe inhabit me...Every morning, before my scenes, I lit candles and said
the names of these slaves. I prayed every day to the ancestors.”

Oprah's motion picture, Beloved, gives an account of a woman who is haunted
by the spirit of her dead daughter; which is a Biblically condemned story
that advocates communication with the dead. Expressing her strong agreement
to cinematically express such themes, Oprah recalls her conversation with
Beloved's author Toni Morrison. She stated:

“I told her I'd just read the book and what it
meant to me and how I felt so strongly that the world needed to hear this
story, and the way to do it was through film.” (Oprah, Good Housekeeping, December 1998)

Oprah sought after demonic possession in order to elicit a superior acting
performance whereby she might gain a greater influence over her viewers.
Beloved's Director, Jonathon Demme, who is also the director of The Silence
of the Lambs, recalled:

“Oprah had explained to me when we originally
met that it was her goal and intention to channel the spirit of Margaret
Garner...This very infusion of humanity past accounts to a significant
degree for Oprah's stunning alchemy, her astonishing abandonment of self
in her Beloved performance.” (Ibid.)

Oscar nominated M. Night Shyamalan, directed The Sixth Sense, a movie that
wholeheartedly propagated communication with the dead. In reference to his
movie's ability to open people up to the occult traditions of mediumship with
spirits, Shyamalan has acknowledged the educating capability of film, stating: “Film
can be a version of faith. You learn to believe.” People learn to believe
through film because the makers of films are teaching them to do so. One hundred
years ago, anything taught in the dark was considered to be immoral and embarrassingly
unworthy of being proclaimed in the open. Today, we have a whole generation
of people who are going to school and learning evil from films in dark movie
theatres. The Scriptures instruct us contrary so as not to be caught unaware:

"But you, brothers, are not in darkness so
that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the
light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert
and self-controlled. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who
get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be
self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope
of salvation as a helmet." –1
Thessalonians 5:4-8

Oprah's demonic submissions spit in the face of the Creator of the universe.
Jesus Christ died for you, was buried and rose again on the third day, and
calls you to repentance. His Law condemns you and unless you receive His
grace you are doomed. He wants to save you. He even wants to save Oprah Winfrey,
but her refusal and status as a bondservant of Satan will not allow it; He
will not force anyone to follow Him. Romans 2:5-8 deals with the "Oprah's" who
continue to proudly reject God's grace.

Follow Jesus and be wise in this life. Turn from any sin in your life and
receive the forgiveness that He offers. His hand is extended out toward you,
you just have to humble yourself and accept His mercy. If you have already
done so, guard yourself and your family from the evil influences all around
and allow no evil thing to be before your eyes. Satan is playing for keeps
and desires to drag as many as possible into eternal hellfire with Him. We
must resist him by standing fast in the faith so that the victory will be
ours and so we might hear Him say, "Well
done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord."
